Liquid metal nanoreactors enable synthesis of high-entropy alloy nanoparticle arrays

The field of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) has emerged as a promising frontier in materials science, offering unique properties that surpass those of traditional alloys. Unlike conventional alloys, which typically consist of one primary element with small amounts of other elements added to enhance specific properties, HEAs are composed of five or more principal elements mixed in roughly equal proportions. This complex composition leads to several advantages over traditional alloys.
